In this episode, I sit down with Jay Deppen for an open and honest conversation about happiness. We begin with the topic of toxic masculinity, and as the conversation unfolds, we explore a deeper understanding of what it truly means to be human.

Climbing the Summit isn't just about reaching the top—it's about having a basecamp, a space where we can gather, reflect, and share our own visions of the climb. Around that metaphorical fire, we gain clarity, support, and the courage to take the next step.

As we step into this new season, Climbing the Summit is no longer just about my journey; it's about yours, mine, and ours—what the climb looks like for each one of us.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right, putting in the effort, and yet things just aren’t coming together? Whether it’s in relationships, work, or personal growth, it can feel like you’re calling out for support—only to realize that everyone else seems to be off doing their own thing.

In this episode of Climbing the Summit, I share a story from playing Overwatch that unexpectedly revealed a deeper truth about life: success isn’t just about effort, it’s about alignment. We’ll explore what it really means to “group up” in life, why working harder isn’t always the answer, and how trusting the process can lead to more effortless growth.

And if you feel like you could use someone in your corner at Basecamp to help you find clarity and move forward confidently, I’d love to support you on your journey. Tune in, discover how to build stronger connections, and find the support you need to reach your goals.

Are you ready to take the next step? Let’s climb together.

Life is a lot like holding a firefly in your hands. Grip it too tightly, and you might crush it. Hold it too loosely, and it flutters away. In this episode of Climbing the Summit, we explore what it means to find balance—not by forcing or controlling, but by trusting the natural flow of life.

Join me as we delve into the wisdom of the inside-out understanding, the simplicity of letting go, and the surprising power of holding life gently. We’ll uncover how overthinking creates struggle, why our experiences are shaped by thought in the moment, and how loosening our grip can lead to greater clarity, connection, and ease.

Whether you’re navigating relationships, work, parenting, or personal growth, this conversation is your invitation to stop striving for balance and start letting it find you.

Let’s take a breath, settle in, and discover the beauty of trusting life to guide us back to center. You’re already enough—now it’s time to see it for yourself
